Victoria Skatepark is located within Bath's Royal Victoria Park and offers an exciting and challenging space for skaters, BMX riders, and scooter enthusiasts to hone their skills. The park features a range of concrete bowls that are sunk into the ground, including one of the only 'vert' bowls in the country. These bowls provide a unique and exhilarating experience for riders.
In addition to the bowls, Victoria Skatepark also offers a selection of new 'street' features for riders who want to practise different skills. Whether riders are beginners or more experienced, the park is designed to accommodate all small-wheeled sports and stretch the abilities of riders.
The skatepark was upgraded in 2015 as part of a larger project by Bath & North East Somerset Council to improve Royal Victoria Park, with a total investment of almost 500,000. The old skate park had reached the end of its life, and the main ramps needed to be replaced. The new skatepark was built following consultation with young people, children, and their parents to ensure it meets the needs and desires of the local community.
With its excellent large bowl design and street section, Victoria Skatepark has the potential to host professional competition events in the future. The park could even attract riders from around the world, showcasing the talent and skill of the local riders.
Royal Victoria Park itself is a popular destination, attracting thousands of visitors each year. The park features not only the skatepark but also Botanical Gardens, ponds, floral and historical features, and one of the largest children's play areas in the South West. Visitors can enjoy a range of activities and attractions within the park, making it a great place for families to spend their leisure time.
So whether you're an experienced rider looking to test your skills or a beginner looking to learn, Victoria Skatepark provides a top-notch facility for BMX riders, skaters, and scooter enthusiasts in Bath. Enjoy the challenging features, take in the beautiful surroundings of Royal Victoria Park, and make the most of this vibrant and dynamic skatepark.
